Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
July 31, 1971
Yale Bowl, Yale University

A great vesion from ’71 with a unique Darkness Darkness transition jam after the “We bid you Goodnight” coda. Very deep, spiritual interplay.

Mother's Day Dead, One of the best GDTR from the early 80's, Weir is just thrashing chords during the second jam, check it out

Madison Square Garden

A Major Break-Out, you must hear the crown reaction, none of the '83 versions really stand out, but this needs to be heard.

Springfield Civic Center Arena

Great version from a great show, I love how Jerry growls the “Last fair deal…” line great stuff, foreshadowing the Werewolves to come.

Aiko Aiko

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

The first time I saw Aiko Aiko, great singing by Garcia, clearly having a blast. RPI is an underrated show, with many, many highlights.

Turn On Your Love Light
April 27, 1971
Fillmore East

Another Monster Lovelight from 1970, I wish I could have seen just one of these roller coaster Lovelights, This one is one of the best of ’70, give it a listen.
The Music Never Stopped
Sept. 25, 1981
Stabler Arena

Just listened this version for the first time in 32 years, don’t make the same mistake. A titanic final conclusion, (harsh cut in the SBD) with Weir over the top, ended one the best first sets I saw live.
Darkness Jam
Sept. 19, 1970
Fillmore East

Just heard this one for the first time tonight, very short 1 minute or so, but very sweet rifts in the middle of a amazing, frenetic NFA> Darkness Jam> China Cat Jam> NFA. I need to nominate some others as well. This is an underrated, (unknown) Jam and more versions need to be nominated.
Alabama Getaway
Nov. 4, 1979
Civic Center

It really was a well rehearsed debut, smoking out of the gate and one of the better transitions into Greatest. Glad I made the extra effort to hit this show at the end of a long tour.
Cold Rain and Snow
July 4, 1986
Rich Stadium
